Wow, that is amazing.

My own grandmother is still alive, she will be 104 this year. She was born the year the Titantic sank!

It's incredible to consider the changes Susannah Mushatt Jones witnessed during her life.

When she was born, there had yet to be an automobile fatality.

The Wright brothers flight tested a glider at Kitty Hawk 15 months after her birth.

19 presidents

What do you mean only 19 presidents?

There have probably been more than 19 countries with presidents every single year since 1899. Even if you limit it to the Americas there would still probably have been more than 19 presidents at a time every year since 1899.
